Here are some of the most common questions we get on our Facebook accounts, Twitter accounts, Discord server and Steam Forums:

What is Insurgency: Sandstorm?

Insurgency: Sandstorm is the next installment of the Insurgency series coming to Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, and PS4. Built on Unreal Engine 4, it retains the classic hardcore gameplay Insurgency is known for and expands upon it further with new features like larger environments, light driveable vehicles, competitive matchmaking support, and more.

Is Insurgency: Sandstorm a free update or a new game?

Insurgency: Sandstorm is a new self-contained game that is built on an entirely new game engine, with plenty of brand new features, improved graphics, vehicles, modes and weapons.

Will spamming your inbox increase my chances of getting into the alpha or beta?

No!

What are the minimum system specs?

System specifications for the closed alpha and beta will be released when we release information about the closed alpha application process. Final system specifications are still to be determined. However, if your system is capable of handling other Unreal 4 engine games, it’s most likely capable of handling Insurgency: Sandstorm.

Howdy, My group in Insurgency, =BB= , would be highly interested in the Coop aspects of Sandstorm. Would like to know when it's possible, how many players/slots and ability to host our own servers? We all intend to purchase and continue playing both the original Insurgency and Sandstorm forthcoming. Thank You.

I'm still wondering why is there no official discord server dedicated for the game itself instead of that Insurgency Gym server?

Don't get me wrong I really do love to participate in PUGs but here I currently living in China where I'd definitely have connection issues and lag to play on those servers.

Btw the Closed Alpha testers would only be selected in NA or maybe EU? I'm asking this because I've participated in some game tests and most of them wouldn't have servers outside of NA and EU. I'd also like to hear more about dedicated server hosting if it's possible to share.

Just build this game and TAKE MY MONEY. TAKE IT ALL. If its a clone of insurgency but with new game modes TAKE MY MONEY, if its insurgency with nothing but new graphics TAKE MY MONEY, if its just insurgency with a single player campaign and new co-op online options TAKE MY MONEY.

In fact im literally throwing fistfuls of cash at you, JUST TAKE IT AND GIVE ME THIS GAME.

Just question, i understand If you don't feel like sharing this... But as it seems right now, the closed alpha has already been.

And I'm wondering If there is by Any chance going to be another wave of players being accepted into testing at some other point in time. I mean there probably Will be, as you Go on to doing stress testing before launch. But... i know how this Will sound and im sorry for sounding quite inpatient and selfish, But is there going to be anymore opportionities to do testing for the game, and give feedback on it, in a not so distant future?

Anyway. Really impressive teaser you released today for the game. Well done!

Hi, the Closed Alpha is still on-going and we're regurlarly sending new waves of keys. You still have a chance to play if you're registered

@mamba Oh that's a shame, I guess they don't value my custom then:) There's a 10% off deal going on which I can't paretake of because they are "delaying" my OS. I'm not paying for what I can't use. There are way more linux users than people think and we do matter.
